A Few of the Benefits

You don't have to be a 'Cage-Fighter' to learn MMA...

We understand that joining an MMA gym can be an intimidating experience for beginners!

At The Fighting Arts Academy, we understand that not everyone is training for a professional MMA bout. But just because you may not want to step into the cage and fight like an Ultimate Fighter, it doesn't mean you can't train like one!

Join us now to start learning the fastest growing sport in the world.

Fitness, Self-Defence, Competition or Just For Fun...

The Fighting Arts Academy is a mixed-martial arts club for everyone. Learn martial-arts used in the World of MMA and Cage-Fighting including, San Shou (Chinese Kick-boxing), Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo.

MMA provides a great way to get in shape, meet wonderful, driven and goal oriented people with a common passion for the arts. MMA is a great basis for self defense, and for learning life skills. There are so many stress relieving and rejuvenating qualities that can be had by training in MMA.

We are a friendly club located in a professional fighters gym with good equipment and great coaches. We have a fully matted area, cage-walls, boxing ring, punch/kick bags and other facilities.

Whats Your Excuse?

I’m too old / tired / unfit.

I’m not very strong or flexible.

I’m scared that I’ll get hurt.

I’m not sure women / kids should do this.

I’m worried about an old injury.

I think MMA sounds scary.

We’ve Heard These Excuses Before...

None of them are valid. Come talk to us and see for yourself.

MMA is the perfect way to get into shape. Men and women of all levels of fitness, ability and age enjoy the training at our classes.
Training MMA raises your confidence levels, reduces stress and massively boosts your energy. Every student comments on how supportive, friendly and welcoming the club is - indeed, that’s the only attitude we believe is appropriate for training.

All you need is will-power and the desire to succeed.

Let us take care of the rest.
